OCTOBER'S RUST

It's the middle of October and most trees have turned red, yellow or orange. Some have even lost their coat. The air carries the musky smell of rotting leave and fall fires. Everything has that romantically nostalgic touch and it's getting quieter...

After a few days of Indian Summer-like weather, the air is getting crisp again, but the sun still illuminates nature's fiery landscapes. The color palette is incredible and I'm enjoying every bit of it!

DANA MCCAULEY: Switzerland is overpopulated. There are not many sparsely populated areas anymore... I live in a big village (nearly 10'000 inhabitants)which is situated only a few kilometers from the town of Geneva (second most populous town in Switzerland). But the countryside is rather calm. There are always people walking around, but I always make sure that I take my pictures when there's nobody in sight ;-P!
